Question

Copper has a density of 8,96 g/cm2 The amount of 75,0 g of copper is added to 0,0500 litres of water in a graduated cylinder. The volume reading to which the water level in 118

cylinder will rise in mililitres is (a).

Answer 1

Volume reading rise to 58.37 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Density of copper = 8.96 g/cm³

Amount of copper = 75.0 g

Volume of water in cylinder = 0.0500 L

Volume rise = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the volume of copper. The volume rise up is equal to the volume of copper.

Formula:

d = m/v

8.96 g/cm³ = 75.0 g/ v

v = 75.0 g / 8.96 g/cm³

v = 8.37 cm³

cm³ = mL

Volume of water = 0.0500 L × 1000 mL / 1L

Volume of water = 50 mL

Volume reading rise to = 50 mL + 8.37 mL

Volume reading rise to 58.37 mL.
